This.
I know Harris and Clinton are controversial but they were two of the most qualified candidates to ever run, who happen to be women. Yet, somehow, the biggest moron on the planet defeated both of them. That moron only lost to the oldest man to ever take office, up to that point.
Careful, there's a lot of morons on lemmy that would rather live in a fascist state than vote for a candidate that isn't 100% perfect.
Entirely too many people let perfect be the enemy of better
Come on. You should have realized the problem here when you read "the boy who cried wolf."
2020 Biden: "Trump is a Nazi, vote for me!" 2020-2024 Biden: "I couldn't possibly order the criminal prosecution of my Republican opponent!" 2024 Harris: "Trump is a Nazi, vote for me!"
This is why Harris lost. Her core campaign message was completely undermined by Biden's actions. To the average voter, the Democrats looked like hyperventilating drama queens who slander their opponents as fascists. Now, I understand that Trump absolutely does meet the definition of being a fascist. But Democrats proved that they clearly weren't willing to take the fascist threat seriously. Democrats didn't treat Republicans like Nazis. Therefore, voters didn't believe them.
Remember. Actions speak louder than words. If the other side are Nazis, but your own actions demonstrate that you don't consider them a threat, you cannot then expect voters to take you entirely truthful claims about them being Nazis seriously.
But but but both sides! Kamala would have been worse than Trump in every way shape possible. Because… both sides!
/s I really hate people who argue both sides are the same. It just reduces voter turnout and republicans win when less people vote.
2020 Biden: "Vote for me, Trump is a Nazi!" 2020-2024 Biden: "we can't prosecute our political opposition, that would set a horrible precedent!" 2024 Harris: "Vote for me, Trump is a Nazi!"
Actions speak louder than words. The average voter didn't believe Trump was a Nazi because Biden never treated Trump like a Nazi.
Imagine if Americans, men and women, weren't political morons with the education of a 4yo.
Education of a 4 year old, but the malice of an 80 yelling at his neighbors kids for touching his lawn.
Seriously, living in flyover country the average person is so much more fuckin stupid than you think. The average American adult is incapable of critical thinking and is functionally illiterate. I knew people were fuckin dumb twenty years ago in school but holy shit it's so much worse now.
I think it wasn’t as acceptable to be willfully ignorant back then. Stupid people were shamed (rightfully) into silence in serious discussions. But now we have a president who speaks at a 4th grade reading level, so dumb fucks feel free to screech about everything, whether they have a modicum of understanding or not.
Trump was right. I voted for Harris and the economy is much worse now. I am sorry.
Imagine it was a black man
In a tan suit
Eating spicy mustard
Riding a bicycle
With a loving wife and family
Pretty sure the right wouldn't give a shit as long as she was fucking with minorities as hard as the Trump admin is
Christy Noem disagrees. They’re just as sexist as they are racist.
They are keeping Kash so far, they might hate women even more.
'..all while swiping huge piles of money out of uncle sam's wallet"
Chicks, amirite fellas?
"Proof that women shouldn't run for office"
That's what the response would be.
Tired: men/women shouldn't run for president
Wired: there shouldn't be a president
Would Obama still available at that point for a "Thanks Obama" ?
Back when we had a president who could take a joke
Trump is femme/queer coded as hell.
The jazz hands, the makeup, the camp interior design.
The beautiful younger wife whose main purpose is to symbolise traditional heteronormative stability, but clearly is not romantically involved.
and yeah the ballroom
His weird dance where he's wanking two guys at once...
Can't, too hard to imagine a woman president in America.
Depends.
Is this woman overtly bigoted and does she constantly demonize half of U.S. citizens?
If so, then she'd have staunch support of all conservative voters regardless of what else she does.
Nope. Nobody voted for Nikki Haley in the primaries.
It's not a ballroom
Ballroom, torment nexus. Tomato, tomäto really
Trump a women confirmed
